The equation does not balance as written. That is usual for an experimental record: the source listed what it put in and what it measured, not a stoichiometric equation.

Conditions

Temperature
100 °C

Only the dimensions the source stated are listed. Anything absent here was not recorded, and it is not inferred from what the class usually needs.

Yield

  • 54% of 1-(3-Methoxyphenyl)piperidine-4-carbonitrile.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

piperidine-4-carbonitrile (0.353 g, 3.21 mmol); 1-bromo-3-methoxybenzene (0.339 mL, 2.67 mmol) and diacetoxypalladium (0.120 g, 0.53 mmol) were thoroughly placed under an inert atmoshere. To this was added 2,8,9-triisobutyl-2,5,8,9-tetraaza-1-phosphabicyclo[3.3.3]undecane (0.037 g, 0.11 mmol); LITHIUM BIS(TRIMETHYLSILYL)AMIDE (6.15 mL, 6.15 mmol) and toluene (10 mL). The resultant mixture was stirred overnight at 100 °C (suspect that it did not need overnight. Equal vol of DCM was added and the reaction mixture filtered. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure gave a dark brown gum. The crude product was purified by flash Silica chromatography {CombiFlash Companion - Presearch Ltd}, column size = 12 g , flow rate = 30 ml / min, elution gradient 0 to 30% EtOAc in isohexane over 10 m

How to read this record

This is one experiment, not a rule. It says that on one occasion these species were combined under these conditions and this came out. It does not say the reaction will give the same result on your substrate, and nothing on the page has been generalised into a claim that it would.

The pathway is a separate question, kept on separate pages. A mechanism here is the canonical arrow pushing for a class, run on real structures and labelled rule-derived. It is not evidence, and this record is not a mechanism.
